Isn't there a way to create a view with an argument that will catch all calls to node and send it where ever you want them to go?

.. or just create a new permission for /node so that we can just block access to it.

Well, that hook's certainly one starting place. But it doesn't on its
own solve the broader problem of how a non-developer could lock down
more than just q=node.

How about extending the access rules interface and system, and then
using hook_boot() to call drupal_is_denied()?
